Chapter 29: Purity, Balance, Unity
"You're almost there Kaykora!" Heroli cried out as the air clung to the electric charge of excitement. All but the very chest of the beast had been turned to stone and that soon would be engulfed as well.
"Don't give up now you're almost there!" Goku shouted encouragingly. Everyone called up similar votes of confidence as the last bit of black energy filtered into her body. As it did she plummeted to the ground out of view. It was obvious when she had as a giant golden beam shot into the air.
"We have to destroy the statue!" Tapion called out. "Without a body, if he does get lose it will be harder for him to attack again."
"Not a problem." Vegeta smirked taking to the air. He shot a weak blast at the statue expecting it to crumble instantly. Surprisingly it didn't. "Huh?" He asked confused.
"It's sanctified by evil it will take a bit more than that!" Tapion called out.
"Hmph." Was his only response as he powered up and gave the rock a substantial blast this time. Only a tiny crack yielded to the force. "DIE!" Vegeta shouted transforming and giving the statue a piece of his fist. "FUCK!" He shouted again shaking his fist. Tapion shook his head. Goku, Gohan, and Brolli floated up and transformed. The four teamed up and finally after a few minutes of blasting, obliterated the statue. They came down to Naros who was cradling a convulsing Kaykora.
"Now what?" Gohan asked worried.
"That's a lot of energy in her body... I wonder if she can really handle it..." Tapion's brother said quietly.
"Of course she can! She has Saiyan blood!" Vegeta boasted but still wore a worried face. A crushing force came from above pressing all of the fighters flat on the ground.
"We'll be taking her!" A female voice shouted from above.
"MASIKLE!" Zani shouted from the balcony.
"Who?" Bulma asked looking at her strangely.
"My sister..." Zani responded angrily. "They tried to take over the universe in my time by pledging their allegiance to a dark god. Now he's called for payment... And we have to stop them." She said jumping over the side and flying towards them.
"Such a fool." Casica said laughing. She held up her other hand that wasn't holding the others down telekinetically and blasted her sister away. "Goshiya, you could have had this too. But now all you'll get is death. Know this fools! The Hellstorm Army is rising and you will all die within the hour!" With that, Masikle, Casica, and Kaykora disappeared.
"This is not good." Naros said shaking his head. "He must be planning on taking her to the Gate... If he makes it to the Gate that could be it..."
"Ok Boy! Spill it! I want to know everything that you haven't been telling us!" Vegeta snapped grabbing Naros.
"Just last night Zani had a vision. She discovered that there is a way for Daricus to gain the power of the Ancients. It's a loop hole never utilized until now and therefore never realized. If the Key is by some chance possessed completely by evil, the power will go to an evil power. It's not supposed to work that way but once the cycle started it couldn't be fixed. Should we fail, the Guardian will come forth from the Temple in force and do battle with the Evil but when he does, all life in this plane will die including the Kais and they will start over. Either we win, or everything is lost." Naros said dropping his head. "We have to get her back."
"You won't be getting anyone back..." A familiar voice to many of them said.
---------- ---------- ----------
"Here she is Master." Casica said bowing.
"Excellent! I'm very pleased with this indeed. Now I want you to go back and make sure those idiots don't mess things up. It's clear that your race is superior in intellect to theirs so I know I can trust you to get the job done should they fail. Make sure that if they do, you harness their spirit energy and use it. The two of you are twice their strength and the boost will ensure you can wipe out the population even if those 'Chosen' try to interfere." Daricus said with a smile.
"Yes Master." Masikle said with an evil smile.
"Should you be so inclined, bring any of the Chosen that you don't completely annihilate back and we can convert them as well." Daricus add as an afterthought. "Although I'm not pushing it. I have all we need right here."
"Very well Master." The two answered in unison. "Finally we get to have some fun again instead of sitting around here rotting." Casica grinned as they disappeared.
"Yes fools. Go and do my dirty work and when it's done and over you'll die as well. Then all of Nanakia's filthy creatures will be dead and I will make her pay for her insubordinance! It was I who was appointed Under God ruler of the Gamma region and it is I who shall now reign over EVERYTHING!" He cackled maniacally then turned to Kaykora who had stopped struggling and lay unconscious on the ground. "But you my pretty dear I shall keep. You're different somehow... But in any case we have a date with destiny." He scooped her up and disappeared.
"Oh I thought there might be a reception for the soon to be ruler of everything." Daicus said in a half pout. "No matter easier to proceed this way." He said charging down the huge hallway. "Soon, soon everything will be mine!" He mused as he finally came to the Alter. "Hmm... I wonder what this says..." He ran a finger over an inscription carved into the top of the alter.
The Alter of Eternal Sacrifice
Purity, Balance, and Unity are the key to life.
Love, life, and all things dear and true can not be obtained without a certain amount of risk. Those that assume this risk assume the role of hero and savior. For it is from the actions of these select few, that worlds and galaxies are built. It is from the actions of these select few, that all hope is derived. It is this hope for peace, prosperity and goodness that gives strength to the mightiest Gods. And so to honor these few who assume the risks of life and death may this alter forever remain as a blood- stained tribute to those who make this plane all that it is, and all that it will come to be. Without these infinitely brave few, life as we know it, would have ceased long ago.
"How sappy." Daricus said laying Kaykora down on the Alter. "Now how to do this..." He looked around the Alter. He ran his fingers absentmindedly over some carvings he didn't understand. As he did, a compartment popped out. In it lay a sword more beautiful than any that existed in the Realms Beyond. "This must be it." He said trying to pick it up. "What the Hell is this made of?" He said sliding it off of the shelf. It clinked on the floor as it hit. "Well my Dear I guess this is the end." He smirked trying to pull the sword up.
---------- ---------- ----------
"FRIEZA!" The Earth fighters shouted in unity.
"In the flesh and I brought a friend you're familiar with too." He smirked.
"Hello insolent monkeys."
"CELL!" They again shouted in unison. "But your dead! I killed you and Kaykora killed you!" Goku said pointing in disbelief.
"You see, a dear friend of ours gave us a new lease on life so we could end yours." Cell said with a smirk. "Your time has finally ran out because not only are we back, we're stronger than ever!"
"So are we." Vegeta said gritting his teeth and Transforming to level 2. The others transformed and Goku and Vegeta stood in front of them all. "Well least this time I get the pleasure of killing you." Vegeta smirked.
"We'll see about that." Frieza quipped. "Stronger yes but definitely not smarter." Vegeta gritted his teeth and held back his anger. He wasn't about to let Frieza get to him again.
"Leave this to us." Goku said turning to the others.
"But Goku you're not strong enough..." Naros started.
"Just let us do what we have to do." Goku interrupted then turned back to Frieza and Cell. "This time we end it for good."
"Well if you're in such a hurry to die." Cell shrugged. The four lunged towards each other.
---------- ---------- ----------
"Here we go." Daricus smiled as he managed to get the sword raised up high enough to thrust it into Kaykora. "Now I will have what I've always desired!" He slammed the sword into her stomach and it went all the way in up to the hilt. Two beams spiraled out of her and shot up into the vast ceiling. One dark and one gold.
"Who dares soil the holy grounds of Ancients?" A voice boomed out.
"This isn't supposed to happen." Daricus said wide-eyed.
"Answer me!" Daricus panicked and disappeared. As he did, a huge figure came out of the haze towards the Alter. The beams had stopped shooting out of Kaykora and she laid bleeding and clinging to life on the Alter. "What is this?" The massive creature said leaning down taking the sword top in two fingers. It glowed white and shrank down to normal size and resembled Kaioshin only much taller. He sat the sword back on the shelf and slid the compartment back in place. "This won't do at all... We can't have you dying on us Kaykora." He said placing his hands on the gaping wound in her stomach and it started to heal. "Still very weak..." He sliced open his finger and placed it on her wrist. "This should help... I have to hurry, you need to get back and help..."
Kaykora's eyes shot open and she gasped for breath. "Where... What... Who?" She looked at the figured confused.
"The Gate of Time and Fate, you sucked up Hildegarn's evil energy and then when Daricus stabbed you it was all expelled and destroyed, and I'm the Guardian Kaiokarsha. Come now I have to take you back to Archenakia, they need you now." Kaiokarsha said helping her off the Alter.
"What's going on?" Kaykora asked as they ran down the huge hall.
"Daricus has unleashed the first part of his Hellstorm Army to eliminate the Chosen. They're incredibly strong and your friends have no hope of defeating them without you and Naros using Spirit Fusion. If only we could find the other Chosen. Even I don't know where they are until they reveal inklings of their power." He said sliding to stop on a huge multi- colored seal carved into the stone floor.
"Please come with me Kaiokarsha. I don't know if I can handle all this. I know you came to Archenakia once before when Naros and I first fused. Please come back." Kaykora pleaded as she tugged on his arm.
"But... I can't... Not in this form. But maybe as this." As he said that something started lurching out of his chest. It soon took the shape of a small Kai looking thing shorter than Kaykora who was short to begin with. "Perhaps with my power divided between two bodies it will be ok."
"Wait! If you get involved now will it screw up the cycle?" Kaykora blurted out.
"The cycle has been fucked up since day one and at this point I feel like if I don't get directly involved then Daricus's goals may just come to pass. I will protect you now." Kaiokarsha said placing a hand on her and they disappeared as the huge carving sighed and started glowing a yellowish gold.
A rush of air flowed passed them and Kaykora knew someone had just been pulverized. "Naros! Dad! Goku! ANYONE!" She screamed running through the annihilated city. There were fallen bodies everywhere. "Can't you do something about this?!" She screamed turning back to Kaiokarsha. He nodded resolutely then began healing people three and four at a time. "Is there anyone out there!" She screamed in desperation. Suddenly a small hand shot through the rubble. Kaykora instantly recognized it to be Trunks's and rushed to him.
"Trunks! Little buddy are you ok?" She asked pulling him out of the pile. "What happened where is everyone?" She stroked his hair and held him tight.
"Frieza and Cell came back... they killed Gohan, Tapion, and his little brother... They're fighting Dad, Goku, Naros, and Brolli right now..." Trunks choked out.
"What happened to Goten?" Kaykora asked gently.
"I... I don't know." A tear came down his face.
"It's ok Trunks it's ok..." She laid him down. "Kaiokarsha! Get over here and heal him fast! I have to find Goten!" She ran off trying desperately to sense his ki.
"Hey there little buddy. Now this won't hurt a bit I promise." He placed his hands over Trunks's body and a green glow came out and went into his body. Trunks sprang up and took off after Kaykora.
Images were flashing in Kaykora's mind. At first she didn't know what they were but soon realized they were the battle she had missed.
"Gohan! I said not to interfere!" Goku screamed out as Gohan rocketed in front of Goku and Vegeta towards Cell
"I have to weaken them otherwise Dad and Vegeta will just be wasting energy." Gohan thought as he raced forward. He let out a battle cry as his fist came close to Cell's face. He missed as Cell dodged easily then stuck up a knee and slammed both fists into Gohan's back slamming him into Cell's knee. Gohan slid off Cell's knee not moving. Cell snickered as he grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up.
"Well that was mildly entertaining... You weren't much of a challenge this time." He said just before launching Gohan into orbit with one might kick.
Kaykora followed a deep depression that ended in a half demolished building and around a pile of debris laid and badly mangled Gohan barely recognizable but still barely clinging to life. "KAIOKARSHA!" She screeched out of the hole. Instantly he appeared next to her. "Help him please." She pleaded and he did. As he did she took off in search of Goten.
"Come on Trunks Gohan said that we have to go before ours Dads." Goten said tugging on Trunks's arm.
"Why?" Trunks asked puzzled.
"Because they're too strong for our Dads to defeat right now so we need to wear them down." Goten answered. Trunks nodded and they started the fusion dance. As they finished Gohan went sailing high over their heads.
"It's our turn now!" Gotenks shouted shooting up toward Frieza.
"DON'T KIDS LISTEN ANYMORE!!!" Vegeta shouted in horror as they flew over them.
"Apparently not." Frieza said with a snicker. He dodged Gotenks attempt at a punch but let them come after him again before he grabbed their arm and swung them around and grabbed the other. He held them behind Gotenks back and pulled them in opposite directions.
"Now this should be fun." Cell said eying the city. He powered up a huge ki ball and sent it flying in that direction. Within seconds it tore through and exploded somewhere in the middle leveling most of the metropolis. Goku and Vegeta looked on in horror as their gazed rocketed between the city and their sons. They finally defused and Frieza threw them up and kicked them off toward the city each with a different foot.
"You two stay here." Goku said with a fire of hatred in his voice. Wide-eyed Brolli and Naros nodded.
A series of deep dents in the ground marked the path to Goten. "Oh he's worse off of all." Kaykora thought pulling him up into her arms. "Goten? Goten wake up can you hear me?"
"Here let me do what I do." Kaiokarsha said taking him.
"Hey... Do you feel that?" Gohan said running over to what was left of a building. He used telekinesis to lift up huge blocks of stone that had once been part of the structure. Underneath there were two women huddled up. They had been battered by the impact of the collapse. "Don't worry we'll help you." Gohan shouted casting the blocks aside and running to them. He lifted one up and Kaykora lifted another under them were two young girls about the age of Goten and Trunks.
"Thank you for helping us. Any longer and we wouldn't have been able to hold up the weight." One said in a tired voice. "Now our daughters are safe." She finished with a smile. Kaiokarsha rushed over and started to heal her but it was too late.
"I'm sorry. I wasn't fast enough..." He said gravely and dropped his head.
"No... Mommy..." One girl said crawling to her. "Mommy..." She started crying and crying turn to screaming and screaming turn into a golden flash of light. The other girl did likewise when she realized her mother was dead as well. Trunks and Goten inched over to the two Super Saiyas and wrapped their arms around them.
"It's ok we'll bring them back with the Dragonballs." Goten said quietly as he comforted one who detransformed and broke down in his arms. Suddenly a blue glow poured out of both of the pairs of chibis and they backed away from each other.
"No it can't be... Goten and Trunks aren't... pure bloods..." Kaykora stammered.
"That never had anything to do with it." Kaiokarsha said walking over to them and kneeling between the four. "All it ever had to do with was having a pure heart and Ancient blood. Both of which they have." He took the four in his arms. "Listen to me carefully. Right now we have to go help them defeat Frieza and Cell the bad people who killed everyone. Now you four can help if you want." They all nodded. "Alright well stand right here in a square and let me do something first." They did and he reached into each of their chests and pulled out their pendants. "Alright on the count of three I want all of you to say Spirit Fusion." They nodded again. "One... Two... Three..."
"Spirit Fusion!" Suddenly the four started to merge with each other each into the one next to them. When it was all said and done two mini United stood before them smiling. Half tiger, half ape and extremely powerful.
"Now go to the battle and give it your all!" Kaykora shouted happily. The Uniteds nodded and took to the air. Kaykora turned to Gohan and looked at him in a strange awe.
"What?" He was perplexed by her stare. She pointed to his chest and smiled. He looked down to see a small glowing blue spot n his chest. He looked up to her wide eyed.
"She's close we have to find her." Kaiokarsha said urgently darting away.
"You're almost there Kaykora!" Heroli cried out as the air clung to the electric charge of excitement. All but the very chest of the beast had been turned to stone and that soon would be engulfed as well.
"Don't give up now you're almost there!" Goku shouted encouragingly. Everyone called up similar votes of confidence as the last bit of black energy filtered into her body. As it did she plummeted to the ground out of view. It was obvious when she had as a giant golden beam shot into the air.
"We have to destroy the statue!" Tapion called out. "Without a body, if he does get lose it will be harder for him to attack again."
"Not a problem." Vegeta smirked taking to the air. He shot a weak blast at the statue expecting it to crumble instantly. Surprisingly it didn't. "Huh?" He asked confused.
"It's sanctified by evil it will take a bit more than that!" Tapion called out.
"Hmph." Was his only response as he powered up and gave the rock a substantial blast this time. Only a tiny crack yielded to the force. "DIE!" Vegeta shouted transforming and giving the statue a piece of his fist. "FUCK!" He shouted again shaking his fist. Tapion shook his head. Goku, Gohan, and Brolli floated up and transformed. The four teamed up and finally after a few minutes of blasting, obliterated the statue. They came down to Naros who was cradling a convulsing Kaykora.
"Now what?" Gohan asked worried.
"That's a lot of energy in her body... I wonder if she can really handle it..." Tapion's brother said quietly.
"Of course she can! She has Saiyan blood!" Vegeta boasted but still wore a worried face. A crushing force came from above pressing all of the fighters flat on the ground.
"We'll be taking her!" A female voice shouted from above.
"MASIKLE!" Zani shouted from the balcony.
"Who?" Bulma asked looking at her strangely.
"My sister..." Zani responded angrily. "They tried to take over the universe in my time by pledging their allegiance to a dark god. Now he's called for payment... And we have to stop them." She said jumping over the side and flying towards them.
"Such a fool." Casica said laughing. She held up her other hand that wasn't holding the others down telekinetically and blasted her sister away. "Goshiya, you could have had this too.

"Ok Boy! Spill it! I want to know everything that you haven't been telling us!" Vegeta snapped grabbing Naros.
"Just last night Zani had a vision. She discovered that there is a way for Daricus to gain the power of the Ancients. It's a loop hole never utilized until now and therefore never realized.

The two of you are twice their strength and the boost will ensure you can wipe out the population even if those 'Chosen' try to interfere." Daricus said with a smile.
"Yes Master." Masikle said with an evil smile.
"Should you be so inclined, bring any of the Chosen that you don't completely annihilate back and we can convert them as well." Daricus add as an afterthought. "Although I'm not pushing it. I have all we need right here."

"Yes fools. Go and do my dirty work and when it's done and over you'll die as well. Then all of Nanakia's filthy creatures will be dead and I will make her pay for her insubordinance! It was I who was appointed Under God ruler of the Gamma region and it is I who shall now reign over EVERYTHING!" He cackled maniacally then turned to Kaykora who had stopped struggling and lay unconscious on the ground. "But you my pretty dear I shall keep. You're different somehow... But in any case we have a date with destiny." He scooped her up and disappeared.
"Oh I thought there might be a reception for the soon to be ruler of everything." Daicus said in a half pout. "No matter easier to proceed this way." He said charging down the huge hallway. "Soon, soon everything will be mine!" He mused as he finally came to the Alter. "Hmm... I wonder what this says..." He ran a finger over an inscription carved into the top of the alter.

"Please come with me Kaiokarsha. I don't know if I can handle all this. I know you came to Archenakia once before when Naros and I first fused. Please come back." Kaykora pleaded as she tugged on his arm.

"What happened to Goten?" Kaykora asked gently.
"I... I don't know." A tear came down his face.
"It's ok Trunks it's ok..." She laid him down. "Kaiokarsha! Get over here and heal him fast! I have to find Goten!" She ran off trying desperately to sense his ki.
"Hey there little buddy. Now this won't hurt a bit I promise." He placed his hands over Trunks's body and a green glow came out and went into his body. Trunks sprang up and took off after Kaykora.

"KAIOKARSHA!" She screeched out of the hole. Instantly he appeared next to her. "Help him please." She pleaded and he did. As he did she took off in search of Goten.
"Come on Trunks Gohan said that we have to go before ours Dads." Goten said tugging on Trunks's arm.

"Because they're too strong for our Dads to defeat right now so we need to wear them down." Goten answered. Trunks nodded and they started the fusion dance. As they finished Gohan went sailing high over their heads.
"It's our turn now!" Gotenks shouted shooting up toward Frieza.
"DON'T KIDS LISTEN ANYMORE!!!" Vegeta shouted in horror as they flew over them.
"Apparently not." Frieza said with a snicker. He dodged Gotenks attempt at a punch but let them come after him again before he grabbed their arm and swung them around and grabbed the other. He held them behind Gotenks back and pulled them in opposite directions.
"Now this should be fun." Cell said eying the city. He powered up a huge ki ball and sent it flying in that direction. Within seconds it tore through and exploded somewhere in the middle leveling most of the metropolis. Goku and Vegeta looked on in horror as their gazed rocketed between the city and their sons. They finally defused and Frieza threw them up and kicked them off toward the city each with a different foot.
"You two stay here." Goku said with a fire of hatred in his voice. Wide-eyed Brolli and Naros nodded.
A series of deep dents in the ground marked the path to Goten. "Oh he's worse off of all." Kaykora thought pulling him up into her arms. "Goten? Goten wake up can you hear me?"
"Here let me do what I do." Kaiokarsha said taking him.
"Hey... Do you feel that?" Gohan said running over to what was left of a building. He used telekinesis to lift up huge blocks of stone that had once been part of the structure. Underneath there were two women huddled up. They had been battered by the impact of the collapse. "Don't worry we'll help you." Gohan shouted casting the blocks aside and running to them. He lifted one up and Kaykora lifted another under them were two young girls about the age of Goten and Trunks.
"Thank you for helping us. Any longer and we wouldn't have been able to hold up the weight." One said in a tired voice. "Now our daughters are safe." She finished with a smile. Kaiokarsha rushed over and started to heal her but it was too late.
"I'm sorry. I wasn't fast enough..." He said gravely and dropped his head.
"No... Mommy..." One girl said crawling to her. "Mommy..." She started crying and crying turn to screaming and screaming turn into a golden flash of light. The other girl did likewise when she realized her mother was dead as well. Trunks and Goten inched over to the two Super Saiyas and wrapped their arms around them.
"It's ok we'll bring them back with the Dragonballs." Goten said quietly as he comforted one who detransformed and broke down in his arms. Suddenly a blue glow poured out of both of the pairs of chibis and they backed away from each other.
"No it can't be... Goten and Trunks aren't... pure bloods..." Kaykora stammered.
"That never had anything to do with it." Kaiokarsha said walking over to them and kneeling between the four. "All it ever had to do with was having a pure heart and Ancient blood. Both of which they have." He took the four in his arms. "Listen to me carefully. Right now we have to go help them defeat Frieza and Cell the bad people who killed everyone. Now you four can help if you want." They all nodded. "Alright well stand right here in a square and let me do something first." They did and he reached into each of their chests and pulled out their pendants. "Alright on the count of three I want all of you to say Spirit Fusion." They nodded again. "One... Two... Three..."
"Spirit Fusion!" Suddenly the four started to merge with each other each into the one next to them. When it was all said and done two mini United stood before them smiling. Half tiger, half ape and extremely powerful.
"Now go to the battle and give it your all!" Kaykora shouted happily. The Uniteds nodded and took to the air. Kaykora turned to Gohan and looked at him in a strange awe.
"What?" He was perplexed by her stare. She pointed to his chest and smiled. He looked down to see a small glowing blue spot n his chest. He looked up to her wide eyed.
"She's close we have to find her." Kaiokarsha said urgently darting away.
